Speak to the ocean
Make your plea unto the sea
Cast your wishes on the waves that break
To wash you utterly
Then perhaps you'll hear the answer
In the trade winds off the shore
Tell that life will be much sweeter
And that pain will be no more

My name is Doctor Richard Mossback
Please listen to the story I brought back
From the slimy briny seashore
I delivered to my colleagues yesterday
I went diving just the other day
Seeking sunken treasure 'neath the Biscayne Bay
When a lovely little figure
From the dim blue depths of nowhere
Swam my way
Hair long blonde flowing as her dress
Her lovely arms could not conceal her buoyant breasts
Though her human beauties able
I was shocked below her navel
Fishiness

Cause good God what a tail she had
Good God what a tail she had
Finny Gwennie
I thought I caught my dream girl
But I never guessed that she would look like this

She swam close right beside my chest
The maiden murmured bubbles popped against my head
As I thought I would go crazy
She allured me to her hazy
Aqua nest
Embraced we fell in the kelp beds
Deep deep down in the kelp beds
Though I loved her flashy scales
I guess so did all the whales
Who would stare

Cause good God what a tail she had
Good God what a tail she had
Finny Gwennie
I thought I caught my dream girl
But I never guessed that she would look like this

She said since we've come this far
Not much more to Terra-Mar
Trust in me don't get suspicious
Right this way follow fourteen fishes

Damn marine construction
The busted oil well erupted
All around us was the oil slick
I grabbed her tight that's when she slipped away
None believe all think I'm mad
I'm madly in love with this girl or this shad
I will find her end my sorrow
We will make our home tomorrow
In the sea
Cause good God what a tail she had
Good God what a tail she had
Finny Gwennie
I thought I caught my dream girl
But I never guessed that she would look like this
Oh yes I thought I caught my dream girl
But I never guessed that she would look like this
Finny Gwennie
Oh ah ooo...
